Hi! I’d like to participate again as well.

Hi! If there is still space I would love to participate! If I understand correctly the exchange has changed from Alphabet coasters to notecards and gift tags? I’m willing to do either.

Found the site. These are blank notebooks. Soft covers. Recycled.

I love them even without anything on the cover. They are in Portland.

Good luck.

Hi, I’ve been cutting Millboard and Davey board with a retractable blade Olfa knife for years. I have a 15 year old green self healing mat as well. They work really well. I cannot remember the site, but there is someone who makes blank, craft covered notebooks for printers and artists. I’ll see if I can find them.

Hi,

Are you still accepting participants? 

Would love to participate if you are.

I’m Akemi Nishidera of KOZO Studio.

From working with dyes and pigments I know that most reds/magentas are very fugitive…they’ll fade well before any other colours. It also makes a difference what quality and density of pigment is used in the ink/dye. I use Van Son rubber based as well and I get direct sunlight into my studio all afternoon and stuff I’ve printed that has any red ink mixed in with another colour usually fades within a year. The red pigment fades and I’m left with the mix of the other colours showing instead. I don’t think Van Son ruber-based was really created considering art based longevity. After all, the ideal paper to print on with is a nice smooth coated stock. Its’ more of an industrial ink.

Perhaps an oil based ink fare better?

I also make paper as well as print and bind. The main floor of my studio is where I do book binding and printing. I have my paper making equipment and silkscreen equipment in the basement where there is a floor drain. I mainly make cotton rag papers from recycling fabric but I also do tamezuki and nagashizuki paper making with asian bark fibres. I do print on my papers as well as make small sculptural pieces.

Hi,

 

May is done and will be posted either tonight or tomorrow.

Since I’m in Toronto, Canada I think I have to pay more to cover the cost of shipping the calendars?

How much would that be in U.S. $? And would it be best to pay you on paypal?

 

Thanks!

Akemi.
